    a plate of raw meat on a table
    Kathleen F.

    Cantonese style hotpot restaurant, recommended by a friend to come have a try. The meat quality is very good, we tried both lamb and beef, all very fresh and tendering. My friend loved their fried chicken, I tried one, really crispy, next time will take my daughter here to try. For improvement, hope they can put more effort to make the soup more tasty.

    Beef tongue
    Winnie S.

    Decent Cantonese style all you can eat hot pot restaurant. They provide soy sauce and satay sauce and everything else is extra. Since it's an AYCE spot, I think they should just included the other sauces as well. They have some cooked items as well, the fried chicken wings was good. They offer wagyu beef but it's nothing spectacular, tastes like the basic beef you'd get at a nice hotpot restaurant. One thing I didn't like was the beef tongue, I think it would be a lot more appetizing if it was cut into thin slices instead of a big piece. Overall, good selection of food and decent quality for AYCE. Service was good. They were nice, polite, and offered dessert without us asking for it.

    Actually one of the better AYCE hot pot places in town. Good price, and most important, some epic food selection. Parking is available in front outside of rush hour. There are also the side streets. This place probably has the best selection out of every hot pot place I've tried in town. Most places have 1-2 glaring omissions, but I was happy to find that that wasn't case here, as long as one doesn't count the non-free quail eggs. Yes there's a 2 oyster per person limit, but the oysters here are quite large. They even have pork uteruses, for those who like to see where pigs come from. The food here comes very quickly, and is very fresh. Special mention goes to their meat slices, which are paper thin and are bright red (ie fresh). Another special mention goes to their deep fried "snack" section, which is especially great when everything inside that pot of soup starts tasting the same. No other place I know of does this. I will definitely be back again to destroy myself. Recommended.

    Expected so much from this place and felt disappointed because of satay broth. My sister and I freaked out from seeing oily bubbles in the soup. Whenever we ate cooked veggies and meat there was nothing but OIL. Yuck. DO NOT order peanut satay broth it's gross. Menu was good especially meat, veggies,seafood and snacks. Deep fried squid was YUMMY. It was hot and fresh you have to order this. Server was helpful. I ordered 1 on single items( quantity part was written in Chinese) and server came back explained misc, dumplings and seafood come as per piece. Also said meat and snack come as per dish. Good thing she helped since neither of us speak Chinese. Server added our bill incorrectly and later changed to the amount it should be. The total came around 53$ which is lesser than Little Sheep. The downside- dirty messy washroom. I almost walked out with toilet paper hanging on my shoes. Spent some time taking it off. Floor was greasy dirty. I nearly slipped myself while leaving the restaurant. Extra charge if you want sesame sauce, chilli and etc. NO all you can drink option or refill option on drinks. My overall rating is 2 stars since the broth was nasty. I felt desperate for chilli oil or heat afterwards. Plus the floor and washroom were dirty. Servers were good. Too bad nobody mentioned about the broth here.

    Hands down the best ayce hotpot place I've ever tried. So why not 5 stars? As with most establishments there's always room for improvement, like the plum juice could be less sour, coconut dessert more flavorful and no extra charge for deep fried fish skin etc. But I'm really nitpicking here, cos where else can you find ayce wagyu beef and pea shoots right?

    Spicy Szechuan/ Herbal Chicken broths
    Byron C.

    3.9 Stars There is free parking on Victoria Drive and the surrounding residential area. First impressions, it was pretty busy. The restaurant isn't that big, and well lit. We had a reservation for 3 people at 7:30pm and the table was ready as soon as we walked in. We ordered the half and half soup ( herbal chicken/spicy szechuan). The Spicy szechuan is pretty spicy. There is a wide variety of meats, balls, veggies to choose from. A few of the highlight items were wagyu beef, pea tips, and deep fried chicken wings (large size). Service during the meal was ok. They removed empty dishes really quickly. However I had to ask for a refill of our teas a few times and for them to top off our broths. This hot pot costs a little bit more than other, but the quality of meat is better i found, and they have the fried chicken wings. Overall Experience: Service - 7/10 Cleanliness - 7.5/10 Food - 9/10 Value - 7.5/10 Parking - 8/10

    A great place for hotpot with a pretty wide selection of items to choose from. They even have sides that they offer which includes fried chicken wings and they are good!!! They taste like the ones you would get from the arberdeen food court! The only down side is they only give a small dish of satay sauce and there is no free refill option. Price wise it is relative to most hot pot restaurants where there is the per person price and price for the soup base. I believe I paid about $34 in the end with tax and tips included. Another plus about this restaurant is they serve oysters as well! There is a limit of 1 per person but they are large oysters and not many restaurants include them in their menu! A great place to go to for a hassle free hot pot without the cleaning in the end! And I would go back just for the chicken wings!

    AYCE Hot Pot
    PennyandRusty P.

    Hot Pot season is upon us! Okay, who am I kidding? For many people in Vancouver, hot pot season spans the entire year... even during the hottest summer day. But I digress... Hot Pot joints in Vancouver has really started to sprout up everywhere - they're almost as popular as sushi joints. Jun Yuan is a hot pot restaurant located on Victoria Drive near E 41st, next to the BMO. For $21.95 per person, you pretty much get an AYCE menu of self-cooked meats, seafood, and veggies. The caveat is that you have to pay extra for the soup base (most are $7.95 and you pay $9.95 for two soup bases). If you're looking for the wild reishi (a type of mushroom), you'll have to pay an extra $29.95 for that soup base. In terms of sauces, they give you satay and soy sauce but you have to pay extra if you want to order some of their other dipping sauce items such as cilantro, sesame sauce, chili sauce, or garlic. We wound up ordering the sliced premium beef, the premium beef cube, sliced sirloin beef, sliced lamb meat, sliced premium pork, fish slices, shrimp, baby cuttlefish, squid, and imitation crab meat (we avoided most of the offal). In addition, we ordered the oysters (limit of 2 per person) which turned out to be huge! We rounded out our order with some homemade dumplings, wontons, fish balls, veggies, and udon. They do offer some cooked snacking food like the fried prawns and squid - both of which turned out to be rather good. Overall, the food wasn't bad. Like most hot pot places, we had difficulty fitting all of the food on our table. Since our table only had one heating unit, they had to bring out a portable unit and stretch an electrical cord for it across the floor (didn't look very safe).

    Deep fried chicken wings
    Simon L.

    Interior - average. Not a fancy place. A bit crowded if having more then 6 people in a group. Service - better then average. Servers are attentive. Food are brought to the table fairly quickly. Food - lots of selections. They have small selections of deep fried foods. Good to have when waiting for your hotpot to get ready. I especially like their deep fried chicken wings. Too bad they charge for additional sauces. Overall a good experience. Will visit again. Reservation is recommended.

    May Y.

    Get their 29.99$ all you can eat hot pot! They have the best fried chicken wings there (cooked)! I know it's weird to get cooked chicken wings for ayce, but you can thank me later. Their service is okay and their soup base is on par with other Asian hot pot. Their milk tea is expensive (4.99) so look at the menu before ordering drinks. Their meat is high quality and I never had to pay for left over food. I couldn't handle their spicy Szechuan soup base (too spicy) but their peanut butter soup was heavenly! Careful with their ginseng one it's super bitter.

    Soft Tofu Soup (清湯豆腐鍋)
    Snow C.

    It is AYCE. $19.95/person PLUS $8-$10 for Soup Bases Pro's :D -Food was really fresh (maybe it has to do with grand opening) Great TASTE! -Owner was very nice and approachable -Meal is "considered" Cheap -They thank you after you pay :) -Open from 5pm-12am Cons :O -Don't order the lotus root it turned dark? -Dessert and Plum Juice was overly sweet -You don't get what you ordered even if it is on the menu (they don't serve red bean -soup and coconut pudding even if it's on the menu) I was really craving these kinds of sweets :( -You get the vibe that the server was maybe overworked or tired Overall 8.5/10 or 9/10

    Peanut & satay beef broth+AYCE hotpot
    Kelly H.

    This place is really clean and ingredients are fresh. Pros: - Really fresh meet and veggies. This restaurant was the best hotpot restaurant for this factor. - The lady, a maganer or owner, is kind. The server was not so great, but I do not expect the greatest service at the Asian restaurants so no problem for me. Cons: - They call it AYCE, but lots of extra charges if you want something else other than soy sauce and tea ( They give you complimentary satay sauce for 1st round) - AYCE price was $19.95, but you have to pay for the broth which is around $8-10. I got peanut & satay broth which was $9.95. Thus, you will actually pay $30 per person at least(after tipping). -Caution: this was my first visit so I was not sure what/how much to order. They give you lots of lettuce for 1 order so do not order too much lettuce at once. You only get 2 pieces of sliced meet for 1 order so you may want to put 10 in order to get 20 sliced pieces. If you do not mind spending $30 for hot pot, this is the place to go as you will enjoy fresh ingredients.

This is basically the hot pot version of that. Its VERY EASY to grab too many fixings and end up paying for it! It's not a bad thing, just be careful! The walls are stocked with gorgeous, fresh soup ingredients from wall to wall. The restaurant is brightly lit and really invites you to stuff your bowl with all these fresh ingredients. This was the perfect place post-Ironman triathlon for my bf to really fill up! He ended up grabbing so many ingredients that the server had to bring his soup to him in TWO BOWLS. I too was overzealous and was only able to finish half of my hot pot. The endless amount of veggies, mushrooms and plant-forward protiens available made it all too easy to pick too many ingredients. Everything cooked up fresh and delicious and the soup was savory and comforting. We absolutely enjoyed our visit and hope to come back again in the future!

Not only do they have sauce, they have fruit (oranges, tomatoes) chips/ snacks and dessert (red bean sago, ice jelly) This place no doubt has great customer service. The waiters come by often, refilling water and hot pot base, taking away used plates, gathering impurities from the broth over time.

After reviewing it and realizing she was wrong, she simply blamed her coworker and didn't offer a single word of apology for her behavior. ​Beyond the attitude, the food quality is a bait-and-switch. The first batch of meat was okay, but every round after that was inedible, greasy fat. They take forever to serve you because they are too busy fighting with customers.

Lower quality staff, poorer service, lower quality ingredients, removing the Kimchi. This may be a sign of BigWay expanding too fast and sacrificing quality and consistency. The solution is simple. Go back to higher standards for your food and staff hiring.

One of the best parts is the ever-changing menu of daily specials alongside the regular menu, so there's always something new to try while still coming back to your favorites. This visit we ordered the shrimp garlic fried rice, Agedashi Nasu, Grilled Squid with Garlic Mayo, and an assortment of sashimi. The shrimp garlic fried rice is an absolute must every time. It's packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and somehow manages to be comforting without feeling too heavy. It is a large dish and can easily be shared by 3-4, depending on what else you order. We also love the Agedashi Nasu here with melt-in-your-mouth eggplant wrapped in a light, delicate coating that soaks up the savory broth. Service is always quick and organized, even when the restaurant is busy. Dishes arrive as they're ready, making it easy to share everything around the table, which is exactly how an izakaya experience should feel. If it's your first visit, don't skip the shrimp garlic fried rice, and make sure to check out the daily specials before ordering.

But in other parts of the world the meal is what's important and so is a quick turn around. Guu with Garlic reminded me a lot of the Izakaya restaurants I found under the train lines of Tokyo in many ways, including the amount of time it felt right to stay. The food came out quick, the servers took orders quicker, and the alcohol came out chilled and as nice contrast to the hot food. Looking around and you see the hand written menu on blackboard surfaces on the walls and this feeling of authenticity. The heat of the flames from the kitchen can be felt and seen if you sit at the bar. And the flavors just hit all the right notes. Starting with appetizers, a section izakayas shine at, the first dish we got was their scallop and mayo pizza. With a crispy crunch on the bottom and crust, this reminds you of the flavors of a baked volcano roll or scallop roll you can find in almost any North American sushi restaurant. Just like that dish, it's important to eat it while it's still hot so it doesn't get gross and 느끼 에. Then came the yellowtail tuna "tempura" pieces. Thick pieces of yellowtail tuna flash fried for just the right crisp on the outside with slight pink of the fish inside. It is meaty without being oily or fatty. Great bite. The beef tongue after was interesting. From the color of the sauce it accompanies it you would think it would be heavy in flavor but it is actually light and citrusy. A good cut into the richer tones of the beef tongue. The yaki udon was one of the best I ever had. It was smokey without being overpowering. The beef was thin and tender and balanced well with the mushrooms it also came with. The udon noodles stayed bouncy and chewy which I didn't expect from being grilled. Very tasty and highly recommend this dish. For our final bite we shared a hot stone bowl of their pork and cabbage rice. With the hot stone bowl constantly cooking even after this dish arrived it was imperative to stir the ingredients together constantly for the first two minutes. It allowed for the runny egg to meld with the rice and the crispy texture of some ingredients was a nice bonus. All in all, I loved eating here and if my appetite was bigger I would've tried more on their menu. A solid place to eat with a great atmosphere, if you're looking for delicious food that won't take too much of your time but still lingers in your memories you have to check out Guu with Garlic.
